Pneumococcal sialidase promotes bacterial survival by fine-tuning of pneumolysin-mediated membrane disruption
Summary: Pneumolysin (Ply) is an indispensable cholesterol-dependent cytolysin for pneumococcal infection. Although Ply-induced disruption of pneumococci-containing endosomal vesicles is a prerequisite for the evasion of endolysosomal bacterial clearance, its potent activity can be a double-edged sw...
